Oak Grove Middle

Summary:

Oak Grove Middle is a public middle school located in Oak Grove, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 466 students. The school is part of the Oak Grove R-VI school district, which is ranked 174 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Oak Grove Middle has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 129th out of 552 Missouri middle schools in 2017-2018 to 289th out of 451 in 2023-2024, the school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 8% in 8th grade to 30.1% in 6th grade, compared to the state averages of 30.6% and 44.4%, respectively. The school's performance on English Language Arts assessments is also below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 27.7% in 6th grade to 38.7% in 7th grade, compared to the state averages of 37.6% and 37.8%, respectively. Additionally, Oak Grove Middle's performance on state assessments for specific student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as those in the Fort Osage R-I, Lee's Summit R-VII, and Blue Springs R-IV districts, Oak Grove Middle generally underperforms on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates and rankings. For example, Bernard C. Campbell Middle in the Lee's Summit R-VII district and the schools in the Blue Springs R-IV district consistently outperform Oak Grove Middle on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. To address these challenges, Oak Grove Middle may need to focus on improving instructional practices, curriculum alignment, and targeted interventions to support student learning, as well as addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
